New Delhi:

Delhi Police successfully apprehended a man in Bihar's Vaishali following an extensive 1,200-km pursuit of a stolen vehicle, officials confirmed on Friday. The stolen vehicle was also recovered during the operation.

According to police reports, the 30-year-old suspect, identified as Chandan, had allegedly collaborated with his accomplice Aamir to steal the vehicle with the intention of using it for transporting illegal liquor during the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.

The carjacking case was initially reported on September 27 at a police station in Delhi's Dwarka region.

"The victim stated that two individuals approached him at New Delhi Railway Station requesting transportation to Dwarka. Upon reaching the destination, they attacked the driver and escaped with his vehicle," explained a police officer involved in the case.

Following the incident report, authorities registered a First Information Report (FIR) and initiated an investigation into the matter.

Investigators analyzed CCTV footage from various locations, collected intelligence from local sources, and eventually tracked the movement of the stolen vehicle along the Yamuna Expressway near Agra. By the time officers identified the car's location, the suspects had already traveled approximately 500 kilometers ahead, according to the police officer.

"The investigation team conducted a search operation covering roughly 1,200 kilometers before finally intercepting and detaining Chandan in Bihar," the officer stated, adding that the investigation remains ongoing.
